Default Fastbird93 Single Turbo Build Thread

Figure it's time to start putting a build thread together though it's going to be a long while to completion. All going into this:


First up, the motor:

4.030 bore 93 LT1 Block
Lunati Sledgehammer 3.75" Stroke Crankshaft
Lunati Pro-Billet 5.7" Rods
Diamond Custom Dished Pistons
Diamond Pro-Select rings
Trick Flow 195CC LT4 Heads and LT4 Intake Manifold ported by Lloyd Elliott
BRE Custom Camshaft
Comp 1.6 ratio 7/16" stud Pro Magnum Rockers
Manley 7.215" one piece pushrods
GMPP Guide Plates
Meziere Electric Water Pump
Hypertech 160* T-Stat
BBK 58mm TB
Fast XFI........I think that's about the jist of the main stuff.

Drivetrain:
McLeod Street Twin Clutch
Modded Factory Master Cylinder to be adjustable
Factory Hurst shifter w/UMI Short Stick
Driveshaft TBD still......
Strange 12 bolt, loaded up.

Turbo Kit -- LT1 Boost Hot Part Kit, in progress, Jon, post up the pics please
PT76GTS Turbo
JGS 50mm Waste Gate
JGS 56mm BOV
Ebay CXRacing 4" core FMIC -- will be a horizontal mount under the nose

Fuel System

Home Built double pumper
-8 in and -6 out rails modded by me, powdercoated black
Will be building this in the coming couple of months.

I'll keep this thread updated with pics as I find time to do the work. Currently the car has the motor/trans out, and has been on the same jackstands since August of 2007 now waiting on turbo parts due to one reason or another. Really the only things I need other than the hot parts at this point are fuel injectors, methanol kit, make my cold side piping, to build my fuel system, reseal the rear axle, get a driveshaft, and get everything installed.

More to come. Tonight I'll try to get pics up of all the parts I have sitting around. About $6K+ scattered throughout the house (pantry, dining room, living room, kitchen, garage..... I love my wife).........

I'll have to dig up the pan part number. It's basically the same thing as a Canton though. Rails are simply powdercoated black with black fittings. I'm going to be pulling the LT4 manifold and having fresh red powdercoat put on it, and instead of polish I'm going to have the fins done in black to go with the rails.

That's a small fortune in parts you have sitting around there. What are you expecting out of it horsepower and track number wise?

I would expect 650-700rwhp on 12-14psi and 93 octane and 800rwhp in kill mode.

Were you fabbing the turbo headers on a different motor? Because it looks different from the one you posted in the first post.

There is not street mode, only kill.

Shooting for 800ish at the wheels on pump gas and meth at 18+ PSI. Motor was built to take whatever I throw at it. Only reason I'm not going for 1000 is because I didn't want to do a TON of front end work to fit a large frame turbo in there. Track times? Once it's dialed, hopefully I'll be running a solid 9 driving to and from the track with A/C and power steering, with a baby seat in the back.

Jon is fabbing the headers on his "dummy" motor. The first motor posted is on the stand in my garage.
